[In SSc fibroblasts, (1) the A2Ar is overexpressed and its occupancy with the selective agonist CGS-21680 increases collagen production, myofibroblast trans-differentiation, and ERK-1/2 phosphorylation; (2) the A2Ar forms an heteromer with the cannabinoid CB1 receptor; and (3) unselective cannabinoid receptor stimulation with a per se ineffective dose of WIN55,212-2, results in a marked anti-fibrotic effect after A2Ar blockage.].
